Handwritten letters are
PERSONAL
They invoke an emotional
reaction – something many
businesses fail to do
People respond more
positively to a handwritten
letter, increasing open rates
and creating goodwill
It is a nice relief from all the
digital marketing & advertising
we are exposed to – It’s
REFRESHING
5. Marketing Automation:
Marketing automation allows you to automate your print marketing efforts. For
example: Once a new client converts, send them a personalized Thank You note
as part of your workflow.
Data:
Personalize the Thank You note/postcard/etc. by using the data stored inside you
CRM! Just like you would tailor an email, you can include unique and specific
data points to ensure your messaging resonates with your recipient. Data points
could include: interests, years as a customer, item purchased, geographic
location, and more!
Print Marketing:
As the stats highlight, print marketing is highly effective. We also know that
personalization is key in today’s marketing environment. This is why utilizing
modern technologies with more traditional forms of marketing brings your
strategy to the next level, making your more competitive, and hopefully
developing longer, more valuable client relationships.
